I can say it is a thumb rule that everyone belonging to this generation of Punjab is a defacto Sharry Mann fan. And this is simply because of his works of early times belonging to his first, second and third albums (Yaar Anmulle, Aate Di Chidi and Meri Bebe). Every song had a special folk touch to it and the reason was Sharry Mann wrote his own songs. Despite being massive hits, the songs had a fragrance of Punjab to it. But in last few years Sharry Mann started releasing singles. It was a good thing for his fans who now would not have to wait for years to listen to his new songs. But he also started singing songs written by other lyricists. I am not saying it is a bad thing (he is an established star and is helping new talent to gain ground), but somewhere down the line, his songs became commercialized. The lyrics were mostly about daroo (alcohol) and gediyan etc. The special touch which was there in his early work was lost.

And Diljit Dosanjh has dropped a new album out of nowhere after a gap of five years. There was no hype around this album, moreover, nobody knew about this album till Diljit disclosed it on his Twitter/Instagram account a few days back.
Diljit has risen to new heights of stardom in last five years featuring in Bollywood movies, judging national talent shows and winning Filmfare award for his debut in Bollywood. But does this newly found fame weigh-in for his choice of songs in his new album Con.Fi.Den.Tial or is he going to continue the raw folk style he started on his last album Back To Basics alongside Tru-Skool. Not to mention that there is no featuring of likes of Tru-Skool and Veet Baljit; instead, Diljit has opted for Snappy as the music director and Rav Hanjra as the lyricist for his latest offering giving a kind of urban vibe to his new album. The title and song listing of the album also lay the ground for an Urban/R&B/Hip-Hop offering giving a 180-degree shift from his la…

Bathinda derives its name from the district headquarters city of Bathinda, which is of great antiquity. According to Khalifa Muhammad Hassan, author of History of Patiala, its ancient name was Bikramgarh.
Bhatinda was changed to Bathinda to conform to the phonetical expression as locally pronounced. According to Henry George Raverty, Bathinda was known as Tabarhindh (Labb-ut-Twarikh). The earliest mention of Tabarhindh occurs in the Jami-Ul-Hakayat written about 607 Hijri or 1211 AD.
